Okay — show of hands. How many of you believe the IRS “accidentally” lost two years of Lois Lerner’s emails? Sharyl Attkisson offers a list of very specific questions Congress should be asking. IRS honesty is like NHTSA voluntaryism. Yeah, if the defense did it, people would be going to prison for witness tampering. How widespread is this, anyhow? (H/T S) Oh yeah, Mr. Obama. Homicides committed with firearms are off the charts. Flags, true and false. The latest speech from Mike Vanderboegh.

The middle class is even more screwed than the numbers show. Could the mythical cancer wonder drug be on the horizon, or is this just another typical bit of overhype? Concept seems good: turn your own immune system against the cancerous invader. Forensic “science” isn’t science. The NSA now claims it’s too big to comply with a court order. Aw, the poor Clintons. Don’t you just weep for their desperate financial struggles? This is nice. Twins joined at birth became co-validictorians of their high school graduating class. Whew! One more apocalypse averted! The backlash against police militarization heats up. Okay,…
No, you can’t age cheese on wooden boards! Yes, you can age cheese on wooden boards! But we’re not changing our policy, mind you. We’re just … er, just clarifying. Yeah. Clarifying. (‘Cause, you know, a whole lot of media types, legislators, and other mucky-mucks know more about artisan cheeses than we do and are snarling or laughing at us.)
Some women. Are scary. Young, naive, idiotic women, I hope. But still … Carl-Bear riffs on my recent JPFO “Gunowners as terrorists” piece. Nice job, Carl. Jeez Louise, cheeseheads. What did you expect to happen once you grudgingly tolerated a little “reasonable regulation”? Fasting for three days can regenerate your immune system. Well, at least it’s creative thinking: Detroit should pass a homestead act to fight blight. Hm. So how do I get an order to prevent Feinstein’s body guards from buying or possessing guns? Clearly they must be dangerous loons to work for a person like that. What happens…
If you held out some tiny hope that Obama might not be as complete an economic moron as you thought him to be, read this and Lasciate ogni speranza. Yes, a raft of new federal controls will make energy cheaper! Speaking of economic moronism: Under the inspiration of a Socialist city council member and waves and waves of trendy blueness, Seattle gone went and done it — raised the city’s minimum wage to $15/hour. For a while they may be saved by all the ifs, ands, and butts they included. And on the other side of governmental asininity: Court official…
Starting off with a smile: The Swiss Reaper. Not so funny: Bovard on the “soft racism” of setting lower expectations for minorities in the classroom. Ugh. Heck, if they were going to ban the poster, it should have been for stupid gun handling, not the shadow of a nipple. (Mildly NSFW.) Suit says V.A. cops stomped on an old vet’s head because he was tired of waiting for treatment. Well, that’s one way to get rid of pesky, resource-consuming patients. You don’t even have to take the time for “death panels.” The Shawshank Residuals. Well deserved. When Earth had two…
Gibson Guitar CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz, gives his side of the story on how his company got infamously SWATted without even a hint from the feds that they might be doing anything wrong. And here’s a podcast with Juszkiewicz and Three Felonies A Day attorney/author Harvey Silverglate.
For the first time, the heroic Ladar Levison tells the details of why he had to shut down Lavabit rather than betray his customers. The “saddest tourist destination” in America just got worse because of the evil it’s trying to perpetrate against an innocent man. Shades of Kelo. And speaking of governments perpetrating evils against the innocent … (H/T and thanks to JTLaB) Kurt Hofmann gives it good and hard to the tyranno-cop who claimed police militarization was needed because of those non-existent rising rates of violent crime. And to fight American military veterans. Those Texas open-carry activists whose tactics…
Pop quiz! Don’t worry, only one question: What role do submachine guns play in the inspection of meat, the granting of farm subsidies, or the administration of food stamps? (The link is to PawPaw’s House. PawPaw is a cop and even he doesn’t like this one bit.) Bovard on Obama and cynicism. This reminds me once again how glad I am that Obama is so inept. Politicians who talk like he does are dangerous when they’re actually competent. Another schoolkid gets turned over to the cops. For a doodle. Government-run health care. ‘Nuff said. California sends another business packing off…
